I got myself a new tool

I went with Sasha to the dentist. He said her breath stinks because of a little bacteria build up... too bad for her :( . I will have to force her take her pills every day for a week now. She will still have that breath for a while, and she doens't really like to chew gum. Too bad for me. After a quick examination, it turned out that Sasha is a very healthy cat in rest! Yey !

I also showed the doctor this article about cat teeth, and he said that the information about cat breath and health is pretty accurate.

The doctor also said that her hair is very healthy indeed. Quite healthy, and quite stubborn when it comes to sticking everywhere.

Let's move on to what I've said I'll do, which is look for a vacuum cleaner. If you're also looking for one, you can click here to see the best options. They are specially designed for what we are looking for, which is getting pet hair out of stuff.

I had two options. As I said I was looking for a bigger one, because the other one isn't performing too well.

It was either get the full option one, the monster of all monsters, the brand of all brands, the Dyson Dc 41, or a cheaper one that I liked very much.

Considering I'm just beginning in life, and that I'm living solo, I'm sure you've guessed that I did not go with the $500 Dyson one, but went instead for one called Shark Navigator.

It's the Lift Away one, and it's not grey.

This vacuum is really nice, I can't wait for it to arrive. I will be posting about it very soon, but give me some time to use it a couple of times before I do.

So the Dyson had very many features that Shark also covered, but it was the warranty that made the difference. I've read about this thing, why Dyson has, and why Shark doesn't offer any. It's because of the price. $500 for 5 years of warranty is ok, because the expenses to fix the vacuum are anyway minor compared to the whole price. Shark goes way under half that price, and getting one for $200 is an easy job.


I know it has no warranty, and that it could break right after the 30 day return policy ends, but I'm not really into getting busy with calling for customer support and all that stuff. If it breaks, it breaks, I'll pay to fix it. I'll be careful not to rush that day, which will eventually come.

I also like the design of the Shark Navigator very much. It's white, and I have a lot of white things around. I don't even have to hide it, it would fit perfectly in my living room, being also a discussion item, because I'm sure people will be attracted by its design.

The other one also looks very nice, but it isn't that fashioned as the one I've purchased.

Both of them are bagless, very maneuverable, but the Shark has a lift away technology that intrigued me. You can turn the upright mode into a purse-like mode, holding the vacuum with one hand, and the hose with another. At under 10 pounds I won't have any problem lifting it up. It's gonna be great to clean sheets and walls, and also floors in the kitchen and bathroom, where the litter box is placed.

That's about it, I hope this vacuum is great at picking up hair, as that website said.

Today Sasha broke a flowerpot. I like that pot a lot, it was white with rainbow colored spots on it. I was lucky it was empty, because if any water was in there it could've affected the wires behind the desk. It took me about 15 minutes to get all the pieces back.

I'm thinking of doing some DIY thingy and stick the pot back to one piece, name it "Broken by cat flower pot" and sell it on eBay. People would buy anything these days.

See you in a few weeks when I will be writing about my new acquisition.

My cat Sasha

I've been living with a cat for 6 years now. This blog is for friends, as I kinda have a lot of them and got tired of talking over and over again about this same subject. They all go " Owwww look at this cutie ... Where did you got her from ? Blahblahblah ..." and if you get to know me I get annoyed really fast by small things.

So there are a lot of questions people have asked, but instead of making a list of FAQ and answer them, I will try and make a legitimate blog here. The additional questions can be asked in the comment section and I will answer them here, once about every week.

When I first found Sasha I just couldn't let her out there in the rain. She was really dirty, and only a baby. She was very scared, the thunders were very strong, and I bet she was also very cold. I warmed her up in my arms as much as I could until I got to my flat and put her to dry on a little blanket. I thought I was better off without the hair dryer, as she was already very scared.


 I'm still sorry to this day I had to possibly take her away from her mother. I pass through the park every day, and I have never seen any cats around. I looked after her possible mother for one week, every day. But then I remembered that felines use smell to recognize her babies, and she would've probably rejected her anyway. I hope nothing bad happened to her, and that the baby just got lost by herself.

The first day after I found her I bought a litter box. She went and did her thing right there the first time, and didn't spread any sand around. That's when keeping her first popped up in my head. She is a very clean cat.

But one problem you all know about is the hair ... god damn she leaves around a lot of hair. You can see it on my clothes, you can see it on my shoes, you can see it on my sofa, even my dishes and face are sometimes full of hair. It's not her fault. She sheds because cats shed, the same all hairy animals do, including humans.

But her hair is special. Because it's so soft and thin and dense, air just keeps it around when a single hair loses the horde. The simple head difference from the bottom and top of my room will get hair floating around. She also shocks me pretty often, when I pet her. I noticed strangely that she doesn't shock everyone, but it seems like I'm not part of the lucky group.

Why Sasha ? Because I didn't really know how to make a difference between cat males and females, and it's hard to see anyway when they are small. I know that Sasha is a name used for both sexes, so I just named her that way.

So there are a few things I want to do this month like taking Sasha to the dentist after seeing this video.

I noticed that her breath kinda stinks sometimes, and that her teeth are more yellowish by the day. I've been feeding her only quality pet food from Whiskas because that's what she enjoys the most. I made this test by placing 5 cups of different brands of food, and because she's smart, she smelled them all before and picked one. I repeated the test the next day, so I figured out what she likes most.

I'm also looking for a bigger vacuum, because the big one broke and I can't fix it, and the small pet hair one that I have can't do all the job. I'll be writing about this in the next post.

So that's about it for this post. I don't have much time, and don't know when I will be writing again, but I'm planning to do it tomorrow. Can't promise.

Kisses from Tasha and Sasha
